Pulse: The Forbidden Room (Pulse – Kairo) - den_nado

Filesize = 1.8 GB, Video = 1920 X 1080p AVC, Audio = 253 kbps AAC, 2-Channel stereo. Hard subbed.

Although this is a “light edit” the cuts are well thought out, serving to enhance the storyline, heighten the uncanny atmosphere, and leave the viewer with a sense of unresolved unease.
For the uninitiated, even with trims, Pulse is never action paced. This is a moody, at times cerebral journey.
A tale of emptying cities, empty lives, the emptiness of existence.
When this was released in 2001 the internet was an exciting new frontier, part Wild West, part beckoning Utopia. Not the beguiling Janus of today.
As Harue explains to one, the internet is supposed to connect us with others; instead it is more isolating.
Along with this concept is the powerful fear of displacement.
Both themes have grown in prominence, and Pulse is eerily prescient.
The audio is 2.0, adequate and what most DVDs had. Mine was a Hong Kong R03, boasting 5.1 which was magnificent, particularly the rear surrounds.
Despite that comment, this is an excellent edit and fans of J-horror ought to hunt this down.
